The Democratic ma-e of the country
are lh" true friends of the Union, ihe guar
t'ians of ihe Constitution, and the custodi-.
ni of he national honor. Their virlue,in
lellijjeice, patrio i'tn a-d devotion, have
been iha streng.h and bulwark ol tiie Gov
rrnment in every emergency and every
loiir of trial, and will so corvtione while lib
erty Uits and free invitations are valued.
Jn the present reat difficulties of the nation
iii.-lij'aied "by treason ar.d &;rava;ed by big
cry ard faua icism, they have a single pur
poe. It is Iheirs to guard ihe Constitution
b the ark ol oor covenant, and to strike
down every unholy hand that wou'd -assail
it. It is theirs 'o aid the efforts of the Gov
ernment and to give strength to the Presi
'em io his paTiolic endeavors to adminis
ter lh" affairs of the nation .or the present
und future good of the whole people. It 13
bot enough that President Lincoln has
shown cnuual persistence in resisting the
dim of radicalism. Ii is not enoDh that
amid all the conflict of faction, and the dif
ficulties with which he has been surrounded
he has fought to preserve coTiMitotional lib
erty by adherence to the constitution He
need the support of the people. He has
leoflght that support, h can only be giv
en hiic by the selection of abler and more
patriotic men as oar representative in Con
gress. It doe not matter who A!r Lincoln
i, or to what party he belongs. He is the
President of ihe nation, and feels his re
sponsibility tathe whole people. The last
Congress was to him a source of untold em
t arrassment, and to the country ol inc-dcu-LMe
i' jurr, and its like ought never again
?o desecrate the li alls where statesmen were
won! to asemble,and never will it the peo
ple, ur.d especially-the Democratic masses,
sre irue lo themselves.
. It was nn excellent maxim in the good
u!J day of Jackson "O d men for council,
yoaug men for war ;'? and h le our yortrjg
men are with so much gallantry and intre
pidly sustaining the cause of the country in
the 6e'd, their elder at home should not
t e tr.niiiiUiiH that tlie too bavu a duty. It
i fcr them to kee; alive a reverence for
ihe- Constitution ; to uphohJ the Govern
raert by a strong and overwhelming public
tpir ion j to keep constantly in view the
t-IJ landmarks. In a war for the preserva
i cn of liberty, and where treasonable pur
poses in Congress ar th waning the aims of
ihe Government, tone to the bailor is a nec
rssary as aim to the bullet, and this can
crdy be secured by organization and a care
Jul jjflort to enlighten the people as to the
duties they owe lo the conntry, the real
nature ol the great issues at Make, and the
ttheilute necessity of a higher tone and
purer pnrpo.e in oar representatives at
Wahington. -This is a Democratic Gov
trnmeiit. It is the growth of American
Detcoctacy. It must not be divided. It

or calamity too severe, so we preserve our
Union undissevered and our Government
free.
And whereas the above resolution con
tains an endorsement of a principle which

We deem it no more than proper to stae
that this report was made out and presented

ance of the auditing Committee being pre
vented from officiating in the mallei. Mr.
I B. F. Hartman having broke his leg, thus

i ment, was too bnsy.--ED Star.
O.i motion of Robt. F. Clark, Riv. M. P
t ' . .
Crosswait, ol Cattawissa, addressed the
meeting. He spoke ot the necessity of
prompt snd energe'.ic action of the people
of this coon'y, to fill up its quota of volun
teers; urged the young men to enlist at
once, and closed with an impressive eulogy
on the Union.
On motion of I. W. McKelvy Prof Geo.
John, of Indiana, addressed the meeting
He commenced by faying thai a person
must do himself what he approves ol oth
ers doing, ''Give me ihe Cattawissa List
and I am one that will go.'' He signed the
muster roll amid the cheers of his associ
ates. He spoke at some length of the great
Cotton King and how his Kingdom should
be destroyed.
John G. Freeze, Esq., was then called on
for a speech, and readily responded, by
saying that he had always been, was now,
and would ever be, an uncompromising
Union man. The Union must be sustained
in its purity, and it was now too late to in
quire into the canse ol this rebellion; party
differences and local feuds mist be given
op. The people thould be a unit on this
question, and drop their slang phrases of
' Secessionist and abolitionist," lhat has of
Ute been thrown back war J and forward be
tween the Street politicians; stand together,
be firm,, show the enemies of the Govern
ment thai the Constitution aa it is and the
Union as it was rnnst be restored. He paid
a hi;h tribute to the firmness and honesty
of President Lincoln, and closed by offering
the following resolution :
Retolcel, That the people ol Colombia
county are loyal lo ihe Union and Ihe Con
xtitution of our fathers ; and that we repu
diate as false and slanderous the charges or
insinuations of disloyally heretofore made
against the Democratic party of Columbia
county believing also ihai the tendency
of such charges is io distract our own coun
sels and to give aid and comlorl to the
rebels. " ' v J -
Whick was-amended by Robert F. ClarK to
read as follows :
Jleso' " That the people- of Columbia
county era loyal to itro Uuiou and the Coo-
stitution of our fathers, and that we repudi
ate as false and slanderous any charges or
insinuations ol disloyalty against either of
the two great political parties in ihi comi
ty, belieyiig also, that the tendency of such
charges is to distract nor own counsels and
lo give aid and comfort to the rebels.
The amendment carried.
A call now being made for voluntee rs the
Rev. David C. John took the stand and call
ed for his country's defenders. If ever h
had exhorted sinners to flee from the wrath
to come, he would now exhort his country
men to flee at once to the battle field and
defend the nation's honor. His master'"
yir.ejard had been invaded, and as a ser
vant he felt called upon to raise his voico
and stretch out bis arm in defence of civil
and religions liberty. Taking the flag in
one band and his country's cause in h'w
heart, he poured forth the most sublime
exhortation to all those capable of bearing
arms, to rally at once in its defence.
It was Resolved lhat, on motion, a Com
mittee of three, I. S. Monroe, Dr. John
Ramsay and 1. W. McKelvy. proceed in
Harrisburg and ascertain on what conditio i
a full company from Columbia county wi I
be received and the expense of the Com
mittee be paid out of the war fund.
The meeting closed at a lata hour wit i
many cheers for the Union, the Flag anJ
the Array.
The Cat'.awiesa delegation, consisting f
many of the first citizens of the place, come
over in a body and added much to Ihe ir -lerest
of the meeting. Over twenty good
reliable young men thai have already vol
unteered in that place exhorted the young
men ot Bloomsburg to step forward and be
comrades in war as well as in peace.

Drafting There is every probability
that by th 1st of October the drafting ot
soldiers in this Stale will be in active ope
ration. The ei'deavor to avoid that extreme
measure by enlistments stimulated hy
bounties, does not meet with the success
which the present dangerous situation ol
affairs requires. The volunteering languish
es most lamentably. Nearly a month has
passed since the President's last call lor
troops, and yet we do not hear of a single
regiment in this Slate filled under that req
uisition. This is an alarming fact, which
cannot be disguised, and, under iiie circti n
s ances, makes drafting unavoidable. The
volunteering for nine months will cease on
the 10th inst , and we may judge whether it
will be more active foi the continuance of
the war than it is for the more limited pe
riod of nine months. It is the part of p u
dence to consider this matter candidly, j.nd
to prepare for it. All who are liable to a
draft, as becomes careful and prudent mar,
should put their business in order, preps ra
tory to an eve n which may require them
io leave their homes and places of bu-iness
for an indefinite period.
The rebel government, by a wholei-ale
conscription, has raised a force ihai vatly
outnumbers ours. Flushed with their late
success, they are preparing to pour t ieir
vast armies into the lojal States. Tiieir
newspapers are boasting of the intended
invasion, and their soldiers are anxiocs to
ravage our fertile field. We have not vol
unteers enough for such an exigency Sun

and endorses him as "a true and lailhlnl

that Mr. Cowan's party friends havj put
upon him this studied insult ? The eop'e
ot this State neeo hardly be told why. It
was because Mr. Cowan has acted more
like a patriot than a par'.izan. Beca ise he
refused to lend his sanction and support to

A CARD.
The Columbia County Republican has seen
proper to drag me before the public in a
manner which seems lo require some no
tice. In an editorial article in thai sheet
of last week, it is said 'in substance that I
was rebuked as a disloyalixt at the war
meeting held in the Court House, on the
evening of Saturday, the 26th nit. This, as
all must know who were present, is a slan
derous misconstruction of the proceedings.
I hart, .upon moiion, been unanimously
elected Secreiary ol the meeting, when, in
view of the frequent and gross assaults
made upon me as a "disloyal Breckinridge
DemtKiat," I requested ol the meeting a
special endorsement ol my loyalty, if ' I
should occupy the honorable position of
Secre'ary. The gentleman who had nomi
nated me as Secretary, probably thinking
such special endorsement uncalled lor and
unnecessary, withdrew the nomination, and
the occasion was embraced io nominate in
my stead a citizen who has so far ex
celled me in patriotism as to resolve upon
leavinz his home and his business and ro
and fight the battles of his country. This
:s the extent to which the "rebuke" wen'.
But it may be lhat the article in the F.tpub
lican was only one ol the writer's awkward
attempts at wit. I would be clad lo be
convinced that it was. lor it i with re-
tuc ance mat i win Delieve that any paui
zan editor, no matter how bitter, would, in
view of my pecuniary and domestic situa
tion . in iile, maliciously and so cruelly
attempt to damage me in my business and
social relations with '.he people of Columbia
county.
No man can porduce a shadow ofevidence
that 1 am disloyal. It is true that I have at
various times expressed my abhorrence of
Ihe abolition doctrines ol such men a
Greeley, Sumner, Lovejoy and Weudell
Philip; mypity lor the ignorance of those
who thought that the traitors oi the South
were few in numbers, insignificant in prow
ess, and not at all in earnest; and my con
tempi for lhat class of patriots who, with
Jove-like mien, erasp ihe American Flag in
one hand, and, with theatrical air, point with
h other to the battle field, exclaiming
L mean while, in thunder tones, GO! disregard
ing the still, small voice, which, il they
were true patriots, was whispering to them,
come it is true I have done this, and I
have done it because I look upon the trea
son o' northeran abolitionists and of south
eran Secessionists with abhorrence, and ibe
cheap patriotism of all demagogues with
disgust.
It is to be hoped the community will
pardon a humble individual for thus com
ing before them; the publicity he has is not
ol his own seeking
